stolen kiss
unforfeited rainbow
lead me out of this ice
encased darkness
my heart needs the light
fell the approaching dawn
trap its fiery enchantment
within this violently twisted
prism guarding mine troubled tears
touch me ever faithfully
with such sweet, beloved madness
strip away the merciless fears
my passion is yours
be greedy with the spirit of my desire
any stilted admiration is but a
pocketed safe haven
in your disagreeably rugged keeping
your hooded but stormy azure eyes
with their wrathful prickly praise
charm me with their dark, deceptive
all enveloping magnetism
which cleverly cloaks your vague, Gothic
brooding mystery
your darkness revels in my lush indignant
rage
followed by such ravenous kisses that you
imprinted upon cold startled lips
that yearned in thirst
but for a taste of your earlier offered
wine
you claimed
one of the country's finest kind
in such plunder we tasted each other's
deepest hidden hunger
and now one taste
shall never be enough
oh my beautifully haunted wing less raven
sculpt me into a love worthy of your
fantastic fantasy's effort
and I shall meet you upon your stormiest
cliff
to seal the desperation of your life long
urgency
hot quivering flesh to strong shivering flesh
we shall conquer each perilous obstacle
that blocks our every joy's way
past and present
and soar unencumbered
together from this moment on
into tomorrow's untapped and
timeless truth
Love
the sole realm of innate goodness..........
